| Materials
Required: |
| Hook:
|
This
will depend on the target fish and the size of the line casting
the fly. However, there is very little air drag when casting
the fly so a larger than 'normal' fly can be cast. |

STEPS |
|
| 1. |
Depending
on the target fish and hook size. Cut your Closed cell foam
sheet as shown in Fig1. Colours. Most saltwater fish, two
tone, red on top and white on the bottom, this can be achieved
by, laminating 2 sheets together using a flexible vinyl adhesive,
like Cartell's, available from the Crazy Clark type stores
for around $2.00. Trout, mudeyes black top and a brown bottom,
Hoppers, brown top and a yellow bottom. Bass, there are mad,
purple top and yellow bottom or anything! |
| 2. |
Cut
a length of flash for the tail, about from the point of the
hook to the eye, this is the correct balance in length. Fix
in place and the wrap down slightly around the bend in the
hook, this magnifies the movement of the tail with every movement
of the retrieve. |
| 3. |
| 4. |
| 5. |
Wrap
the flash or to improve the strike ration, Talon Glow in the
Dark Thread up to the hook's eye. Tie down. |
| 6. |
Where
the hook starts to bend, tie on the thread, and then tie on
the body, and tie off. |
| 7. |
The
head, same again leaving enough area for your flies eyes.
The head can be cut in line with hooks eye for a fly that
cruises along with out too much fuss or water disturbance,
ideal for a mudeye or a mullet for bream etc. Lengthen the
head and you will find it turns upwards, cut the foam double
the eyes width, this in turn will produce a wake that will
splash water everywhere and produce a large plop. Bass, Tailor
and Trevally must hate the sound because they destroy it! |
| 8. |
Fix
your selected eyes to the flies, from experience, more strikes
can be obtained with eye than no eyes. |

How
to fish this fly: There is no set golden rule, however the most
productive retrieve appears to be a number of strips and a resting
period, and the next movement usually produces the strike, no
matter if fished on the surface or subsurface. |
